Likewise in science - certainly in the UK - most places have banned latex gloves outright and use light nitrile or vinyl instead. The HSE in the UK hates them and any pretty much any safety professional will tell you to lose them from your consumables list.
Also, kudos to your auto-correct for inventing the hostility business (often all too accurate a description of hospitality) - previous greats include demonised (de-ionised) water and dead seahorse (DEAE sepharose) chromatography.
